Reviews Summary
Brodie's Seaport garners praise for its generous portions, fresh seafood, and lively atmosphere with live music. While many enjoy the friendly service and welcoming vibe, some reviewers have noted issues with bland seasoning and inconsistent service. The restaurant is also highlighted for its gluten-sensitive options, though caution is advised regarding cross-contamination.
"Gluten sensitive fried seafood!!! Yes!!! And for the reviews that say the food is flavorless. I think you mean not overly salted. Local clams that were brought in today. So much flavor. Recommend this place. Friendly too!"

"A decent little seafood restaurant on the outskirts of Salem.
We stopped in for lunch while touring Salem. It was pretty quiet when we went which is what made it worth it.
Our server was very quiet and not very personable but not unfriendly. She was fast with our drinks and order which was nice. She did forget some of our condiments though.
The food was fine. It was hot and the fish tasted fresh, nothing was seasoned though so it was a bit bland.
Overall it was fine and I can recommend them for fish."

"⭐ 5 out of 5 stars
Brodie’s Seaport isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a home away from home. I first came here as a tourist over a decade ago, and now as a local, it’s still my go-to spot. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth—from the staff, the owners, the music, and the whole laid-back coastal vibe that makes you feel like you belong.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a familiar face, Brodie’s welcomes you with open arms. The team here knows how to make every guest feel special, and the energy is always upbeat and inviting. The music sets the perfect tone, the drinks are strong, and the food hits the spot every time.
It’s rare to find a place that maintains its charm and hospitality year after year, but Brodie’s does it effortlessly. If you’re in the area—whether passing through or planting roots—this is the kind of place that turns strangers into regulars and regulars into family."
